This is the first public performance for this quartet - Billy Stieger (violin), Ute Kanngiesser (cello), Tom Wheatley (double bass) and Paul Abbott (drum kit). The musicians share the common context and conditioning of living, listening and working in London for a number of years. They have worked closely together in various configurations though a variety projects they have all contributed to.

This project moves to sound poly-human cycles in strung and tensile waves. A breathwound conference of emotion.

Billy Steiger was born in Howth on the 16th December, 1986. Now he plays the violin.

“Then he sat down by a pond and began to play a tune. As he played, the most extraordinary thing happened. One by one the fish in the pond began to jump out and fly about in the air. And what is more, they were all different colours and they were singing to the music.”

“For over 10 years, I have only played unscripted/improvised music. I have experimented with the sound of the cello, limiting myself to the alive material at hand: vast and complicated layers within the instrument and myself; and to let this music evolve continuously in relationship with others. It relates to the process of uncovering an endless multiplicity of coexisting sense perspectives. And it deals with the energy that this gives rise to. For me, it is the most exciting place to play music from.”
